Wanted to get some input on the car I looked at today. It's a '73 Cutlass 'S', 455, 4-speed. VIN starts 3G37V3 and it has M20 on the cowl tag. Unfortunately, the original drivetrain has been replaced with an F-code ('68-'72) 455 and Borg Warner trans. Body is very good with minimal rust around windows. Interior is complete but needs most items restored. Options that I noticed are: a/c (intact), tilt, & swivel buckets/console. Asking price is $4k. It seemed like a good deal until I discovered the non-orignal engine/trans, but what do I know?? I'd like to hear from the experts. Thanks for ANY thoughts/advice. Bob
